Day Kimball Health Names Paula Bellavance Employee of the Month for December

02/03/2025

Day Kimball Health (DKH) has named Paula Bellavance, case manager associate in the Case Management Department, as its December Employee of the Month.

Bellavance joined DKH in May 2008 as a secretary in Behavioral Health Services before transitioning to Day Kimball Health at Home. In June 2024, she moved into her current role in the Case Management Department. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated exceptional dedication to patient care, teamwork, and professional growth.

As a case manager associate, Bellavance plays a vital role in coordinating patient transportation. She works closely with KB Ambulance and other providers to arrange Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) transports, ensuring patients receive the higher-level care or rehabilitation services they need. Additionally, she collaborates with community providers to facilitate seamless post-discharge referrals.

A key part of Bellavance’s responsibilities involves preparing and submitting authorization requests to insurance companies, monitoring their status, and addressing any denials in partnership with the finance team. 

Kyle Kramer, CEO of Day Kimball Health, praised Bellavance’s dedication and impact, stating, “Paula is a tremendous asset to Day Kimball and our community. Her efforts in coordinating transportation, navigating insurance processes, and facilitating seamless transitions for our patients are truly invaluable. Paula is a joy to work with, and her positive attitude and collaborative spirit make a difference every day. We are incredibly proud to recognize her as Employee of the Month.”

Outside of work, Bellavance enjoys spending time outdoors, capturing nature’s beauty through landscape photography, exploring new destinations through travel, and cherishing meaningful moments with family and friends.

Day Kimball Health’s employee of the month program is sponsored by Foxwoods Resort Casino and the Mashantucket (Western) Pequot Tribal Nation in appreciation of our healthcare workers and all they do for our community.
